Company Will Host A Free, Family-Friendly
Block Party to Celebrate Upcoming Streetscape Project
OneMain Financial announced today that it will be hosting a
“Made on Main Street” event on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2018, to
celebrate the $25,000 grant awarded to Main Street
Brunswick/Brunswick Downtown Development Authority (DDA). The
organization is using the funds to improve the streetscape along
the three main commercial areas of Brunswick by installing bicycle
racks, vibrant trash cans and planters.
“Made on Main Street,” a partnership between OneMain Financial
and Main Street America, provides community action grants for
innovative neighborhood transformation projects across the country.
Six additional grants have been awarded to organizations across the
nation.
“We’re thrilled to award this grant to Main Street
Brunswick/Brunswick DDA. In addition to revitalizing the
community’s commercial area, this grant will help limit the amount
of litter on the street,” said OneMain Financial Chief Marketing
Officer Kim Wijkstrom. “At OneMain Financial, we believe
individuals thrive when communities thrive and feel this project
aligns with that mission.”
Over the last two years, Main Street Brunswick/ Brunswick
Downtown Development Authority has worked with the City of
Brunswick and the Council for the New Urbanism on a community
“Legacy Project,” which conducted studies and asked for public
input on improving the city. With the help of OneMain Financial,
the suggestions will now come to fruition.
“The grant from OneMain Financial will help improve the
intersection of Gloucester and Norwich by providing furnishings and
a way to reduce the amount of trash that ends up on the street.
Also, the bike racks will provide a safe, convenient place for
cyclists to secure their bikes while conducting business in the
area,” said Brunswick DDA Executive Director Mathew Hill. “This
will be the first step in implementing revitalization plans for
these areas.”
OneMain Financial will be hosting a free, family-friendly block
party to celebrate the grant award and the upcoming beautification
project. The September 22 event will be held at the intersection of
Norwich and Gloucester from 2 to 6 p.m. Festivities will include
complimentary food, games, crafts, artisan vendors and much more.
“Made on Main Street” is free, and all community members are
invited to attend. For more information, please visit:
